vs. ASTROS, 8/11

[SteveA]

And I like seeing 35 year olf Verlander have to hustle all out and dive in the dirt.   That has to take a little something out of him.

Good, no clean inning for Verlander.

Are we winning yet?

There has to be a plan in the works for Chris Davis next year?

Surprisingly we're still really in this game!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For now...

Loyola didn’t make the University Night cut? Shame. I expect Navy to be left out but a Baltimore school? Hmm.

Awful interference call.

Of course, if Mancini had not swung at the pitch, he would have been on base with a Walk.

So does there have to be contact for interference to be called?

Where are our rules experts?

[scOtt]

Wojo's pitch count still very reasonable! Barring a late meltdown (knocks wood) I'd call this a great start. 2 mistake pitches.

[scOtt]

Wojociechowski.

 

Just practicing...

I'm pretty sure that there DOES NOT necessarily have to be contact in order for there to be an interference call. If a player stands right in front of the catcher preventing him from throwing the ball, then it's interference, even if he doesn't touch the catcher.

 

But that was not the case right there ........ Mancini immediately jumped out of the way to avoid screening the catcher's vision, and the position of his body subsequently had nothing to do with the bad throw by the catcher.
